Armed robbery suspect in the area.

Kids are not being allowed to go home.

Crazy seeing my kids school with that cop SUV right where we pick them up.

I am freaking out a bit.

The robbery apparently took place at the HOA offices - which are only about 2 blocks away - suspect was jumping over fences going through the neighborhoods close to the school. The kids are in the safest place right now.

Ugh. I hope they're released soon. Glad it's not a shooter situation though.

Sorry to hear wart. :-(

Hopefully it won't be long.

Didn't know you lived in Peoria. I learned to be a Cardinals fan n Peoria as a 7 year old kid watching the '67 El Birdos! I think Franklin Elementary is still there on Columbia Terrace.

That was the first thought that went through my mind, I can assure you, if it was, I wouldn't be posting here, I would be as close to the school as they would let me be.

Lock down is over - kids are being let go now.

This is Peoria, Az - people from Peoria, Illinois moved to Az and named their new city Peoria...
